Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 30:23

Take thou also unto thee: the words are very emphatical, and the Jews from hence do rightly infer, that this ointment was but once made, and that by Moses’s own hands. Spices: see Song of Solomon 4:14; Ezekiel 27:22; and compare Psalms 45:8; Amos 6:6. Pure myrrh, Heb. myrrh of liberty; either, 1. Free from adulteration or mixture; or rather, 2. Freely dropping from the tree, which is esteemed better than that which is forced out of it. Calamus; a sweet reed, of which see Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 30:22-24THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE CHURCHThat the ointment signifies the influence of the Spirit of God we can hardly doubt. The anointing of kings and prophets signified that they received the gift of holiness in a special degree; and when Christ was anointed with the oil of gladness above His fellows (Psalms 45:8-9), it signified that on Him rested the power and grace of the Holy Spirit in an extraordinary degree. What does this ointment teach respecting... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:1-38

And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. It's to be eighteen by eighteen, and forty-five inches high ( Exodus 30:1 ).This is a little altar that was set in the holy place, before the veil that separated the holy place from the Holy of Holies.Overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides round about, and the horns thereof; [So it's a little altar only of gold, and it's to burn incense, a sweet smelling savour again before God.] And the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30:6. Before the veil. This altar, formed like the ark, of the incorruptible wood covered over with pure gold, represented the Son of God in human nature; and the incense typified his intercession. The former was placed within the sanctuary, the latter in the court without; for his sacrifice was offered on earth, his intercession is in heaven. But it was not fixed within the most holy place; because the continual intercession of Christ was to be represented by the daily burning of... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Exodus 30:23

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,Interpreters are not agreed concerning these ingredients: the spices, which were in all near half a hundred weight, were to be infused in the oil, which was to be about five or six quarts, and then strained out, leaving an admirable smell in the oil. With this oil God's tent and all the... read more

This was a sort of gum which exudes spontaneously from the bark of a tree that is found in Eastern Africa and Arabia. The tree somewhat resembles a thorn tree, and is described in Johnson’s Travels in Abyssinia as “a low, thorny, ragged-looking tree, with bright green trifoliate leaves. The gum exudes from... read more
